Nate, It's a pretty simple reason a person would want to fully suspend a desktop box - using alternative power! I plan to run my entire configuration via 12Volt batteries and a ups like inverter. if I can reduce the draw of current, I can extend the life of my batteries. The whole reason I wanted linux is to keep a computer running when I can't be here - windoz would die and I would have to be here to press the reset button. Now, if we I can tweak the power usages on the box, I have that much more control.
my 2 cents worth . . .
